 Chandl. Ca»2. Bril. , 1. 1 and 2.,'and Bot. Beg., t. 887. In Chandl. III. it is stated of it, that it 

 approaches nearer to the waratah than to any other variety, and is one of the very best 

 which has been raised ; and that it was originated by Mr. Chandler, in the Vauxhall 

 Nursery, in 1819, from the seeds of the waratah, crossed with the double-striped. Price, 

 in London, 7i. 6d. ; and at Bolwvller, 20 francs. 



* C.j. W fibre dlbo Chandl. 111. The white single-flowered J. C— Figured in Chandl. III., t. 17.,

 other variety. It abounds in flowers, and these usually open earlier than those of most 

 other varieties; thev are nearly 3 in. across, white, and not unfrequently striped or 

 spotted with red. It seeds freelv, and some fine varieties, with double flowers, of difl'er- 

 ent colours, have been raised from it. It was raised from seed of the double-striped, by 

 Messrs. Rollisson of the Tooting Nursery, in about 1814. 

 m. C. j. 31 althcerefibra Chandl. 111. The Hollyhock-flmvered J. C. — figured in Chandl.

 from tlie account of it in Chandl. III., is a most elegant variety, with blossoms of a deli- 

 cate white colour, a little striped; occasionally spotted with pale red, from Si in. to 4

m C. j. 34 punctctia Chandl. 111. The dotted-Rowered J. C, Gray's invincible C. — Figured

 blossoms are from 3 in. to 4 in. over; of a very delicate blush colour, almost white; 

 striped, and slighllv spotted with pale rose, in the manner of a rose-flake carnation. An 

 extremely fine variety. It was raised, in 1824, by Mr. Press, gardener to E. Gray, Esq.,

 beautiful ; 3 in. in diameter ; of a deep rose colour, intermediate between the deep red 

 of the waratah and the bright rose of the pajony-flowered. They are produced in great 

 abundance at the extremitv of the branches, and open pretty early in the season. This 

 variety was produced in ISl'O, from seed of the waratah, from a flower that had been fer-
